At least 100 people have died and more than 60 are missing after Japan suffered widespread flooding and landslides following the heaviest rains in recorded history. Around 73,000 troops and emergency workers have been dispatched to search for the missing and to rescue residents left stranded on their rooftops after rivers burst their banks and swamped whole communities. Days of constant rain finally stopped on Monday and as sunlight broke through the clouds it laid bare the full extent of the devastation. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5933193/At-100-die-Japan-flooding-landslides-predicted.html Lalasticlala, Mynd44 1 Like 1 Share

Houses were ripped from their foundations and cars washed away. About 70 percent of Japan's land is made up of mountains and hills, so homes are often built on steep slopes, or flood-prone flat plains below them. 1 Like
